Having problems getting the starter to engage! I have a 1970 Porsche 914 which I've just installed a 1975 914 2.0L F.I. engine. I've attached a photo of the starter hookup. It appears from the starter solenoid there is a blue wire or red/black wire that suppose to go to the ignition switch! Does that wire actually go to the Fuse Relay Block Panel first then on to the ignition switch? Question #2: from the picture you can see the Air Aux Regulator which has 2 outlets, one comes from the air breather, where does the other one go? Question #3: One of the injectors slides in and out pretty easy, the other 3 don't, is that because the one has a faulty inner rubber seal? Question #4: Is there a problem using the 1970 Fuse Relay Block (Engine Compartment) since I'm using a later model (1975) 2.0L F.I. engine or do I need to upgrade to a FRB out of a 1975 914? Thanks again for all your help!

The item in your last image is the AAR (auxiliary air regulator). One end is connected to the large inlet on your plenum via stacked elbow and the other to the air cleaner. Provides auxiliary air on cold startup (higher idle).
I don't really understand how your starter is wired. It looks like you have a "hot start relay" in the system. The big yellow wire is normally connected to the spade terminal on the starter. It comes from the ignition switch to the relay board and then out to the starter via the engine harness. With the Bosch relay in place I am not sure of the wiring as I use a Ford solenoid/relay for the same purpose. |
